I started a period diet with on dec 4 at 329.5 on the day of surgery Jan 25 i was 300. Now on feb 19 I am at 273.2. So 56 lbs total. I’ve been losing 3-5lbs a week post op. Small portions is key for me. Did stop taking blood pressure medicine as it was making me light headed when i stood up. BP is maintaining normal.

So awesome! I hope I will be able to get off my BP meds soon. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tim!

I lost 19 lbs in the pre-op month. I'm 76 days out from surgery, lost 68 lbs since then for a total of 87. I was heavier than you, so that's definitely a big part of it though

Edit: sorry, you asked for sleeve specifically. You guys drop as much as us in the beginning, though, so it's all the same

Wow...Over 6 pounds a week. I hope to be as successful as you have been. Looking forward to getting this show started next week. Thanks for sharing!

You'll get there Some lose fast, some slow. Guys tend to lose faster, too. If you had a long pre op diet, you won't necessarily get the dramatic results right after, either

I have enjoyed reading these amazing stories. It is so encouraging... Thank you!

I lost 35 prior to surgery and am 9 weeks post surgery and am down another 26. I weigh myself everyday but keep my eye focused on my Monday weights. I am exercising daily and noticed I am slowing down but average about 500 calories (regular foods now) but 60 g of Protein and 60+ ounces of Water. I did not gain all of this in a day so even a weekly loss of 2 pounds is a win for me.

If you can lose 2# week that is a win everyday of the week!

I believe I will be down 20-25 pounds by surgery date. I would love to be able to lose that much in that time frame. My surgery is on 2/23. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! My pre op was 2 week liquid diet and I lost 14lbs. I'm trying something different this coming week so well see how it goes.

Thank you for sharing. I had the sleeve on 1/15 and I am 27 pounds down, but that’s including the pre-op diet I started 1/1. I also feel like my loss is on the slower side, so you are not alone. My surgeon and nutritionist seem to think it’s ok.
I started out with a BMI under 40, and I have heard that sometimes you lose slower if you have ‘less’ to lose. Not sure how true that is.
Either way, the important thing is that the weight is coming off! As opposed to if we had not made any changes, it would have be the same old story, or maybe we would have even gained a few pounds!
Keep up the good work everyone, and don’t stop!

Thank you I appreciate it! I have to remind myself everyone is different and losses different.

Weight fell off ridiculously quickly in my first few months. Maybe too quick when considering how unhealthy it might have been for my body. In the first two weeks I lost about 30 pounds. I was ~270 pounds the day of my surgery (late August 2016) and by New Years Day 2017 I weighed around 180lbs. I plateaued here for a while but after a month to a month and a half the weight started coming off again, much slower this time.

I actually ended up losing too much weight. At my lowest weight I was 133lbs at 5'8" tall. Luckily I was able to slowly start putting weight back on to get myself to a healthier weight. Until I weighed over 150lbs I looked too skinny. I looked like I was sick or anorexic. I am putting a picture in which I was pretty close to my lowest weight attached to this post.
